Common names include cottonmouth, northern cottonmouth, water moccasin, swamp moccasin, black moccasin, and simply viper. [14] Many of the common names refer to the threat display, in which this species often stands its ground and gapes at an intruder, exposing the white lining of its mouth.
The eastern cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus) [4] [5] was once classified as a subspecies of the cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus).However, DNA based studies published in 2008 and 2015, revealed no significant genetic difference between the eastern cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus) and the western cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus leucostoma) and synonymized ...
Agkistrodon is a genus of pit vipers commonly known as American moccasins. [3] [4] The genus is endemic to North America, ranging from the Southern United States to northern Costa Rica. [2] Eight species are currently recognized, [5] [6] all of them monotypic and closely related. [7] Common names include: cottonmouths, copperheads, and cantils. [8]

Propanethiol is an organic compound with the molecular formula C 3 H 8 S. It belongs to the group of thiols. It is a colorless liquid with a strong, offensive odor. It is moderately toxic and is less dense than water and slightly soluble in water. It is used as a feedstock for insecticides. [5]
1,3-Propanediol is mainly produced by the hydration of acrolein. An alternative route involves the hydroformylation of ethylene oxide to form 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde. The aldehyde is subsequently hydrogenated to give 1,3-propanediol. Biotechnological routes are also known. [2] Two other routes involve bioprocessing by certain micro-organisms:
3 (CH 3 CO) 2 O + 1 C 3 H 5 (OH) 3 → 1 C 3 H 5 (OCOCH 3) 3 + 3 CH 3 CO 2 H. This synthesis has been conducted with catalytic sodium hydroxide and microwave irradiation to give a 99% yield of triacetin. [14] It has also been conducted with a cobalt(II) Salen complex catalyst supported by silicon dioxide and heated to 50 °C for 55 minutes to ...
